Xinomavro
A versatile variety that gives wines that are extremely well-structured, with style and character that stand out, as well as the possibility of long-term aging.
It offers a full range of wine types, red, rosé and white (blanc de noir), sparkling, fresh, aged and even distilled wines.
Negoska
It gives unique character to red and rosé wines (in a few rosés it is the only responsible variety). It participates in the PDO Goumenissa red wines, where it complements and tames the other red variety of the region, which is dominated by Xinomavro.
Dark, fruity and medium in acidity and tannins, Negoska completes the blend, giving the wines of Goumenissa a softer, rounder and chocolaty taste.
Part of the unique terroir of Goumenissa, the round Negoska puts its own touch on a wine that expresses in an exceptional way the values of the old wine world, touching the sensitive chords of every wine lover who wants to acquire real knowledge about good wine.
